Definitions

  • the present invention relates to filters and more specifically to replaceable filter assemblies.
  • replaceable filter assemblies in filtering contaminants from lubricant, fuel, coolant, and air systems in internal combustion engines has long been established.
  • the replaceable filter assembly offers the convenience of rapid replaceability at costs that do not substantially exceed those for previous filtration systems in which the element only was replaced.
  • filters remove contaminants, it is a desirable feature of such a device to observe visually what is occurring in the filtration element.
  • Such devices are known as they relate to fuel/water separator filters.
  • a metal filter housing has attached to it a transparent collector bowl which allows the operator to observe any accumulation of moisture and drain it from the bowl by means of a valve.
  • An example of this type of device is found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,764.
  • Transparent chambers have been proposed for fuel filtration as shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,017,397 and 4,424,128.
  • transparent chambers have been proposed for oil filters in U.S. Pat. No. 2,179,784.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,179,784 utilizes a glass chamber which would be totally unacceptable when subjected to the vibration, pressure and temperature environment of a heavy duty internal combustion engine such as a diesel.
  • the above patents disclose plastic but only for a minor portion of the filter so that sedimentation can be observed.
  • a replaceable filter assembly for filtering contaminants for fluids having a pressure significantly different than the pressure existing around the exterior of the filter assembly.
  • the filter assembly comprises a unitary outer shell formed from plastic material having an open, threaded, injection molded end and a closed end blow molded substantially to its final shape.
  • a filtration medium is positioned within the shell and is supported in such a way that fluid flow is directed through the filtration medium for removing contaminants from fluid which passes through.
  • Sealing means are provided adjacent the threads of the threaded, injection molded end whereby the shell forms a pressure vessel effectively sealed around its open end when installed.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section view of a filtration assembly embodying the present invention and a base with which it is used.
  • FIG. 2 is an end view of the filtration assembly of FIG. 1 but without the base of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section view of an alternative embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section view of a filtration assembly showing an alternate embodiment of the invention and a base with which it is used.
  • FIG. 5 is an end view of the filter assembly of FIG. 4 taken on lines 5--5 of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is an end view of another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a longitudinal section view of still another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is an end view of the filtration assembly of FIG. 7, taken on lines 8--8 of FIG. 7.
  • a filter assembly 10 comprised of an injection molded end portion 12 and a blow molded closed portion 14.
  • the injection molded end portion 12 has an outwardly threaded section 16 adjacent the end face 18.
  • the threads formed in the section 16 are of an Acme thread configuration so as to withstand substantial axial forces.
  • Adjacent the lower end of the threaded portion 16, as shown in FIG. 1, is an integral circumferential flange 20 having a sufficient thickness to withstand axial forces encountered when the filter assembly 10 is installed.
  • Integral with end portion 12 is a closed blow molded end portion 14 comprised of a relatively thin annular wall 22 having an annular recess 24 and a plurality of axially directed ribs 26 adjacent the lower wall 28 of Section 14.
  • a filtration medium Positioned within the outer shell portions 12, 14 is a filtration medium illustrated as an annular filtration medium 30 coaxial with the axis of the filter assembly and extending through a substantial portion of the shell.
  • the filtration medium 30 has a central perforated tube 34 and a formed imperforate end cap 36 secured to the lower portion of the filtration medium 30 by suitable means such as an adhesive.
  • the upper portion of the filtration medium 30 is supported in a cantilever fashion by a plate 38 herein shown as a stamped metal plate.
  • plate 38 has an annular recess 40 which receives filter medium 30.
  • the filtration medium 30 may be secured in recess 40 by suitable means such as an adhesive.
  • Plate 38 has a central opening 42 and a plurality of tabs 44 extending radially outward towards the walls of the injection molded end 12. Tabs 44 abut a shoulder 46 which extends to an inward facing annular wall 48 formed on the interior of injection molded end 12. Tabs 44 have projections 50 which are angled so that when the tabs 44 are placed against shoulder 46 the projections 50 abut interior wall 48 and thus lock end plate 38 in place. The result is that the filtration element is supported cantileverly within the interior of the filter. As particularly shown in FIG.
  • the space between the tabs 44 defines openings 52 at spaced intervals around the periphery of plate 38 to permit the flow of fluid.
  • the central portion of the opening 42 in the center of plate 38 has a sealing ring 54 positioned therein which provides a seal around opening 42.
  • the replaceable filter assembly 10 When the replaceable filter assembly 10 is installed on an internal combustion engine, it is threaded into threads 49 of a corresponding base 51 so that a tubular fluid flow element 53 projects through the sealing ring 54 and the threads 16 engage corresponding inwardly directed female threads 40 to advance the flange 20 to the point where a lathe cut or O-ring sealing ring 56 provides sealing contact between an opposed surface 55 on the base 51 and the flange 20.
  • the filter housing as previously mentioned is formed using the injection blow molded technique described in the Modern Plastics Encyclopedia. This consists of a first stage in which an amount of material sufficient to make up the entire quantity necessary to form the shell is placed into an injection mold in which the plastic is melted and injected into a steel mold cavity to produce a preform or parison. For this application the preform is shaped like a test tube with a finished threaded portion at the top.
  • the injection molding technique provides a high degree of accuracy so that the threads 16 may be formed using an Acme thread pattern which gives a significantly increased holding strength so as to effect a positive pressure seal.
  • the mold may be indexed to another station where air pressure is applied to the heated plastic so as to blow the plastic material against the female mold which substantially conforms to the ultimate shape of the exterior of the filter shell.
  • the quantity of plastic is controlled so as to control the wall thickness of the shell.
  • the blow molding gives a precise and uniform control over the thickness of the vessel and avoids any stress concentrations that would result in forming the entire shell using an injection molded technique. It should be noted that a stretch blow molding technique may also be used to form the portion 14 and that blow molding is intended to cover this form of molding.
  • the particular material for the plastic needs to be selected having regard for the ability of the material to withstand the petroleum based and glycol based fluids found in the lubrication, fuel, and cooling systems, respectively, of the internal combustion engine.
  • Several particularly useful compounds have been identified for this purpose. They are:
  • PET polyester terepthalate
  • PES polyether sulfone
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative provision for an end seal on the filter shell housing of the filter assembly 10'.
  • a threaded section 60 which is also injection molded, has outer facing threads 62 but no corresponding flange.
  • the annular end face 64 of the threaded section 60 is sufficiently wide to support a seal ring 66 of suitable resilient material.
  • the net result of this type of configuration is to provide the sealing function at seal ring 66 substantially in line with the threaded section 62 so as to effect a positive pressure seal.
  • Only the shell portion of the filter assembly is shown in FIG. 3 to further emphasize the relationship of the seal 66 and the thread 62. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the manner of securing and supporting the filtration element within the shell as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as well as alternative embodiments described in connection with the additional figures in this application may be employed in the sealing arrangement of FIG. 3.
  • a filter assembly 70 comprises an injection molded threaded end portion 72 and a blow molded lower end 74 which are formed from plastic material as described above. Included within the annular threaded end 72 is a shoulder 76 extending to an inwardly facing wall 78.
  • the filtration medium 80 is generally annular in form, has a closed end plate 82, and is cantileverly supported in end plate 84. As particularly shown in FIG. 5, the end plate 84 has a circular periphery 86 interrupted at a plurality of positions around its periphery by circular holes 88 which in effect form scallops.
  • the circular periphery 86 in between the circular holes 88 generally is adjacent to or abuts the inner facing wall 78 to align the end plate 84.
  • the depth of the shoulder 76 is selected so that when the threaded portion 72 of the filter assembly 70 is installed and threaded into sealing engagement during installation, the end plate 84 is sandwiched in between the shoulder 76 and a corresponding mounting surface on the base 51. This surface can be either the tubular flow element 53 as shown or the base wall 90 toward which the threads 49 extend. If it is desired, additional securing means such as the projections 50 of FIG. 1 may be provided so as to prevent the end plate from slipping out of the filter assembly when it is not installed on an engine.
  • the threaded end portion 94 of the filter housing has a series of axially extending ribs 96 extending from the end face 98 of the threaded portion and terminating at a shoulder 97, the depth of which is selected for positioning and mounting an end plate 100.
  • the end plate 100 has a generally circular peripheral periphery 102 interrupted by a plurality of arcuate cutouts 104 so as to permit fluid flow.
  • a plurality of notches 106 project radially inward from the periphery 102 and are received over the corresponding ribs 96.
  • the shoulder 97 at the base of the ribs 96 establishes the location of the plane of end plate 100. Once the plate 100 is in position against the shoulder 97, the plastic ribs 96 are heated so that they deform and flow over the periphery of the plate 100 in the form of a plastic blob 108 shown only at the 6 o'clock position of FIG. 6. Thus the end plate 100 may be employed to cantileverly mount the filtration medium which is secured to it.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show an alternative manner of securing the filtration medium.
  • a filter shell 110 is comprised of an injection molded threaded end 112 and a blow molded end 114.
  • the filtration medium 116 is mounted within the outer shell 110 so that its bottom end face 118 is secured to and mounts against the bottom wall 120 of the blow molded portion 114.
  • the manner in which the filtration medium 116 is secured against wall 120 may be any one of a number of ways including a suitable adhesive.
  • the opposite end of the filtration medium 116 is secured to end plate 122 which has an annular recess 124 for receiving the annular filtration medium 116 and a central opening 126 around which a molded seal ring 128 is positioned.
  • the end plate 122 has a circular periphery 130 which is received in an inner facing annular wall 132 extending towards the end wall 134 of the threaded portion 112 from a shoulder 136.
  • the circular periphery 130 of plate 122 is interrupted by arcuate cutouts 138 so as to provide a flow of fluid past that portion of the plate.
  • the net result is that the curned periphery 130 of the end plate 122 is supported in at least the radial direction by the inner facing wall 134 in the threaded end 112.
  • any axial expansion of the filtration element 116 due to increases in temperature is compensated for while at the same time permitting the sealing ring 128 to be accurately centered on a corresponding tube or fluid connection extending through the center of the end plate 122.
  • the filter that is the subject of the present invention may be installed and removed in the fashion of any other replaceable filter for an internal combustion engine. Because the filter shell and means for threading to the engine is contained in a single unit, the manufacturing costs are greatly reduced.
  • the techniques of injection molding and blow molding are established techniques that can be used to great advantage to produce a superior filter.
